FERNS, 



There are none better to be had than the Fancy Hardy Cut Ferns we offer at 11.50 per lOOO. Why 



pay more? Send your order to Randall, and have other things you need come with the Ferns. ^ 



OUR REGULAR DAILY SUPPLY OF LILIES 



Now that the country is once more pretty bare of Lilies, we are again ready to supply all comers. Our daily receipts 

 are 1000 to 1500. It is good stock, some of it cut tight for long distance shipping. Prices always, right. Can you use a quantity? 



A LARGE SUPPLY OF FANCY ROSES 



Your orders for Roses will not be too large for us to fill with first-class stock in any length you need. Our 

 growers are in full crop, and the quality is all you could ask. Let us have your orders and you are sure to be pleased.

dance and show fine quality. In the 

 miscellaneous line there is considerable 

 variety and snapdragon and Spanish 

 iris are in big supply and of excellent 

 quality. There is still a large quantity 

 of outdoor bulbous stock on the market 

 and plenty of jonquils and tulips are 

 being shipped to market daily. Valley 

 enjoys the usual spring demand and 

 the prices hold firm on the best of 

 stock. Weather conditions have been 

 favorable and the quality is all that 

 could be wanted. Lilies are in good 

 demand, but the supply now is large. 

 Smilaz is scarce; the supply fluc- 

 tuates widely from week to week. 

 Hardy cut ferns are falling in price at 

 a date they customarily advance, due 

 to offers from eastern shippers who 

 are seeking to unload at low prices. 



Association Meeting. 



The Cook County Florists' Associa- 

 tion, at its meeting at the Tavern, April 

 17, had an excellent attendance. Presi- 

 dent A. C. Kohlbrand in the chair. H. 

 N. Bruns had been announced as the 

 principal speaker, but was unable to be 

 present because of illness. H. A. Phil- 

 pott talked interestingly of his trip to 

 trade centers in England, and of the 

 National Flower Show. 



The principal feature of the evening, 

 however, was a discussion of publicity, 

 introduced by P. Pearson, chairman 

 of the association's publicity commit- 

 tee. Mr. Pearson had brought to the 

 meeting Mr. Shelton, representing a 

 street car advertising company, who es- 

 timated that if each florist in Chicago 

 would contribute $2.50 per month it 

 would meet the cost of having a hand- 

 some display card in every street car in 

 Chicago. 



D. Paptony, Frederick Charles Price, 

 Peter Trepiulis and George Wietor were 

 elected to membership. An application 

 was received from Fred Krausa^ of 

 Winterson's Seed Store. 



Secretary A. T. Pyfer announced 

 that he is prepared to book reserva-

tions the association's special train, 

 via the St. Paul railroad, to the Minne- 

 apolis convention in Augnst. He stated 

 that out-of-town florists who join the 

 party will be provided with tags for 

 their hand baggage, which will result 

 in the baggage being taken care of on 

 arrival in Chicago and placed in the 

 owner's space on the special train, 

 thereby relieving the florist of all trou- 

 ble for the day spent in Chicago. 



Various Notes. 



The Bandolph Market is the name se- 

 lected for the new quarters of Sinner 

 Bros., M. C. Gunterberg, Frank Ben, 

 H. C. Blewitt and A. E. Hunt & Co., 

 who will move May 1 onto the floor 

 now occupied by H. Wittbold. The 

 latter has more space than he needs, 

 but will continue at the same place, 

 while J. A. Budlong will use the entire 

 second floor at 82 to 86 Bandolph street, 

 where the five others have been for 

 two years. 



The death of Ben F, Rubel, president 

 of the Fleischman Floral Co., is re- 

 corded in this week's obituary column. 



John Ganger, of Ganger & Bergman, 

 now is with John Mangel. Mr. Ganger 

 says that the Ganger & Bergman store 

 is closed for good, that the stock and

fixtures will be sold off and that this, 

 with the book accounts, should pro- 

 duce a sum sufficient to clean up all 

 the liabilities. It is reported that L. B. 

 Bohannon, of the Bohannon Floral Co., 

 is negotiating for the lease, but Mr. 

 Bohannon says there is nothing he cares 

 to state in that particular. He denies 

 emphatically, however, the rumor that 

 he is under any necessity of removing 

 from his present location in the Uni- 

 versity Club.
